Yeah I kinda talked about that in the Craigslist post. Even at flea markets, other vendors go around before everyone else and buy up anything they can resale, I sold at a flea market about 10 years ago and we were swarmed unloading the trailer by vendors and sold half our stuff before the place even opened. I sold stuff just to get rid of it not to make a living off of it

Seeing how much all this stuff is worth now I hate to think of all the stuff I thrown away over the years. 15-20 years ago 80s trucks were pretty much free. Body's were usually garbage so I usually just gutted them and threw out the rest. Could only store so much but I do have ton of parts still laying around that come in handy during my last build and current build
